Purchasing

Purchasing oversees all purchases of goods and services made by the University, either directly or via the delegated purchasing methods.

Purchasing Methods

There are two ways to purchase at UTD:

Purchase using a UTD departmental Purchasing MasterCard up to $1000. (Up to $5000 with special permission). Delegated Purchasing to departments with permission.

Sign in to the UTD Galaxy and choose eProcurement to launch the remote purchasing application for authorized UTD users and submit a purchase requisition into work flow for Purchasing to place your order. All non-Delegated orders must be submitted to eProcurement to pass work flow approvals and be placed by Procurement Management Buyer prior to ordering from the vendor.

Note: Approvals for emergency orders by exception only if approved by UTD Procurement Management Buyer prior to placing the order.
